In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Swiped is far from the wokest thing out there. It plays more as a light college rom-com with mild social commentary, rarely sacrificing narrative for ideology or browbeating viewers with modern moral lectures. Not much for woke-watchers to worry about here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Swiped focuses primarily on college dating apps and doesn't center its narrative on identity politics or diversity quotas. Characters have weaknesses and go through growth, with storylines built more around interpersonal relationships than social justice themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes a bit of fun at college hook-up culture but doesn’t spend much time mocking traditional family values, masculinity, or religion. Family figures are present, even if only as punchlines. Traditional gender dynamics are more comedic than ideological.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Though it leans towards critiquing modern hookup culture, it doesn’t villainize dissenting perspectives in any heavy-handed way. There’s no noticeable push for a single, rigid worldview, and some traditional perspectives are treated sympathetically.
